SSO Round 1.6

SSO Round 1.6
Pre-Viagra Winner (Cars under 1300cc)
Friday
Left for KL after work and a shower, the day was blistering hot! Arrived at the Sg. Buloh rest stop for dinner, Burger King! Yum. Then sped of to YSKhong Motorsports where my new tires were waiting to meet my rims. Thanks YSKHONG Motorsports for the late night service which ended around 10pm+. Xarrax & the rest of the crew, Thank You.
Saturday
Left to meet up with Xarrax, Camsaw & Victor at Sunway. We convoyed to Shah Alam and confirmed our registration, did the necessary course walk, studied the course. Sandy patches a pot hole and loads of loose gravel = FUN!
The sun was shining bright, it was HOT, really HOT. I got sunburn and I was under a shaded tree. But as the day went on the clouds provided shade from the streaking heat.
My toughest competitor was Ian in his Suzi and Chan also in a Kelisa. Ian was running typical settings with BFGoodrich tires, Chan was on Silverstone Semi Slicks. Wow! I was only running Falken road tires! LoL. But the competition was tough I had to push as far as the car would let me.
Around midday when the 2nd round of time attack was taking place there was a small incident. A car flipped and did a 270 degree flip before landing on the passanger side.
After all the timed events I headed towards victory lane! They had a big platform for the winners. It was near the Drift session, so I had the chance to snap a japanese drifto monster. So after the event Ian, Boon, Julian and myself convoyed back to Bandar Utama for a stop to park our cars and headed for dinner in SS2 in a brand new Ford Focus. Gosh its spacious. I didn't have a chance to take photos of the car.
Sunday
Woke up late around 11am and headed towards Cheras to see my uncle and grandma. Then headed for the highway around 12pm. Took a slow drive back to Penang. Lucky I had some company there with me or it would have been a really slow boring ride back. Thanks Cutie.
....and that concludes this episode of Proton SSO Time Attack 1.6.......next stop JOHOR.

Kelisa's New Feet, HWL Adjustables




BEFORE:
The car felt werid everytime I took a turn. The body roll was getting worse, the tilt would stick and there isn't much rebound from the shockers. The car understeers through almost every corner and the tires don't grip, which is werid they have at least 75% left.

Saturday:
So I decided to give the fish a much needed upgrade. After talking with Sifu and the gang I drove down to KL to get the parts installed.

1) HWL Adjustables
2) PRO RS Braided Brake Hoses
3) NGK Iridium Spark Plugs

Keeping my fingers corssed so that there aren't any complications. I watched and waited. After a few hours of setting up everything was complete without any complications. Thank God!. So later on that day after having dinner and all I met up with Xarrax and Desmond(Toyota Starlet) and headed up midway to Genting. The route we took was the old road used to get to Genting Highlands called Genting Sempah, I didn't have time to take photos of the roads unfortunately. Suprisingly the settings by Xarrax were very balanced. Thanks to YSKhong Mechanics for everything.

Sunday:
Woke up early said goodbye, had a Subway Sandwich with Cutie. Headed for Penang, I noticed we passed the KL toll at 11:30am and arrived at the Juru toll at 1:30pm. If my calculations are correct that's like 2 hours and 3 mins! Well I was driving at normal speed of 140kmh and on some downhills 170+kmh. Lol, i noticed the meter in my car was up till 160kmh only.

Ahh good times.

Movie Night with the teams...



I gotta admit, Harrison Ford's acting is great. He's getting old too...one can see and count the number of wrinkles on his face. Poor Indy. Lol.

The movie has a good story, but it lack in action and suspense. The technology that was used was an eye opener and also the brand used is well.....not suprising.

Andy's Movie-O-Meter : 6/10
